Good morning all !

Do you know of a way in indesign cc2021 to create a slideshow that runs automatically without any button action when you export it with publish online. I tried with in5 plugin but it only works for html5 and the old DPS features (now window menu overlays) no longer work!

Thank you for your help

in5 is a paid add-on to InDesign and offers multiple ways to create a self-running slideshow. Detailed here:

Create your slide show in an HTML5 project in Animate CC. Publish as an OAM file, and import this OAM file in your InDesign file. Publish online.

Voila, one auto-playing slideshow. We used to be able to use videos as an alternative (import a slideshow as a movie) but browsers no longer allow auto-playing of videos, unfortunately.

Here is a quick example and the project files are linked for you to inspect. The animation can be as complicated as you desire in Animate CC: In this case I just cut in each image.
